A platter of assorted chocolates is excellent for any occasion, whether you’re hosting a big event, attending as a guest, giving them as a present, or you want to enjoy a mixture of chocolates to yourself. There is no right way to enjoy our delicious handmade chocolates.

For as long as anyone can remember, chocolates have been given away to celebrate many occasions such as holidays, bridal and baby showers, graduations, first dates, and more. At Lazar’s, we cater to all of those events. And we want everyone to feel included. That is why we try and have themed chocolates for every religious holiday. Not only are religions important to us, so are specific dietary needs. We carry a variety of nut, sugar, and kosher-free products.

So, what do you get in a platter of assorted chocolates? You get to choose from as little as 1.5 to as much as 10 lbs of chocolate, and you have the option of having a mixture of dark and milk chocolates or just milk or dark. These platters come with various chocolate-covered nuts, marshmallows, pretzels, truffles, fruits, caramels, solid candies, foils, and more.

Chocolate-covered almonds are the perfect treat for someone who loves a little crunch with their chocolate. These little sweets are available in dark, extra dark, and milk chocolate flavors. And come in as little as a half-pound bag to two-pound bags. So you can have as few or as many handfuls as you’d like.

For as long as it has been around, chocolate has been almost everyone’s go-to when they want something sweet. And it can be used for pretty much everything, for baking, party favors, snacking, fundraising, and so much more. At Lazar’s, we take our chocolates very seriously. All of our chocolates are handcrafted with care, and because we want everyone to enjoy our chocolates, we also carry nut and kosher-free products. 

If you’re looking for something more than chocolate-covered almonds, we also have chocolate almond bark, chocolate almond patties, chocolate butter crunch, and more. But if you’re looking for something without chocolate, perhaps some nuts without chocolate, we carry trays of assorted fruit and nuts, mixed nuts on their own, and just almonds. There is something for everyone at Lazars. We even have some of your favorite candy.

Why Was Chocolate Only for the Rich?

Posted by

Chocolate is a treat that many of us have come to enjoy. We bake with it, give it away as a gift or party favor or eat it the way it is. Everything seems better when chocolate is involved. But did you know that not everyone could enjoy it? A long time ago, this sweet treat was meant for the rich.

The origins of chocolate are traced back to 450 BC and were served as a drink. Those who drank it believed that the chocolate drink would give them strength. As time went on, we learned how to turn chocolate from a liquid into the solid we know and love. 

So why was it that at one point, only the rich could enjoy this tasty treat? 

As we know, chocolate has two primary ingredients cacao and sugar. And in the early 15th century, the Aztecs used cocoa beans as currency. They would even use it to pay taxes or offerings to gods. 

In 1528, chocolate found its way to Spain, where it became popular with the rich. By the 1600s, chocolate was introduced to Europe. 

Chocolate continued to be enjoyed by Europe’s wealthy and upper classes as they consumed it for the added health benefits, adding to its popularity. And because it became so popular, European Colonists created plantations in regions where cacao was grown. When diseases struck, affecting the labourers, slaves were imported to the Americas to work on farms. 

Chocolate came to America in 1641, then in 1682, Boston opened the first chocolate house. Because of this, American’s of all classes were able to enjoy it. 

American soldiers were given chocolate as a ration during The Revolutionary War, and it was often given to them as payment. 

Supply and demand problems were one of the contributing factors to the cost of chocolate. Creating chocolate was another issue as it was made by hand before the invention of the chocolate press in 1828. 

After the invention of the chocolate press, producing chocolate became less expensive, and soon everyone, regardless of class, could enjoy it. 

Lazar’s is a fourth-generation family of chocolatiers, and we take great pride in all of our chocolate products. Our chocolates make for great gifts, and party treats, party favors and much more. 

Each of our products is handcrafted with care and can be delivered almost anywhere.
